In the gap left behind by the murder of Charlie Kirk, some have wondered if the right will ever have such an effective communicator for not just conservative values, but Christian values. As Kirk’s friends fill in his speaking engagements, one particular friend filling in is Allie Beth Stuckey. At 33 years old, in main ways Stuckey is the female Charlie Kirk. She is eloquent, poised, and knows her Bible. She drew in a crowd of 6,700 conservative Christian women at the “Share the Arrows” conference in Dallas, Texas where she encouraged women to enter “The fight for truth, the fight for our Christian faith, the fight for our children, the fight for the nation.”

Her recent appearance on Jubilee’s “Surrounded” has also earned her praise as she took on so-called progressive Christians and pointed out ways the Bible was not compatible with their progressive stances on such issues as gender, sexuality, and abortion. During her appearance, she managed to remain calm and respectful, while quickly responding to objections and catching fallacies in the logic of the other participants.

For her fans, Stuckey offers a way to keep Charlie Kirk’s vision alive, but this time amongst women. “There’s a new ache in all of our hearts since Charlie passed, and we’re just so excited to keep this fire burning. This is a great way to rekindle that in all of us,” said one fan. Her appeal amongst women is especially important given the rising loss of faith amongst Gen Z women in particular. A recent study by the Barna found that nearly 40% of Gen Z women identified as either agnostic, atheist, or none.

Since the death of Kirk, whom was a personal friend of Stuckey’s, she has encouraged her followers to remain faithful and to be more open about their faith. During a tearful message she released shortly after Kirk’s murder, Stuckey admitted she had at first felt she was “done” with speaking out, feeling afraid by the violence people like her face. But she appealed to Charlie Kirk’s own strong faith. “May we all, when we die, make the demons rejoice,” she declared. “May we all be so courageous, so bold, so effective, so faithful, so obedient to the Lord, so relentless in the pursuit of His glory that when we die, all of God’s enemies cheer. May they lament every breath we take. May they be enraged by every morning that our feet hit the floor. May they wince at every word we say.”
